Disclaimer
Notice, Warning and Disclaimer
TECDIS system and its navigation products including Electronic Chart Display and Automatic
Navigation and Track Control Systems, assisting to safe marine navigation.
All such navigation aids are subject to certain inaccuracies and deviations, if unconsidered, may
result in a maritime accident or incident, and subsequent loss of life, vessel, cargo and
environmental damage.
Accordingly, the navigator should not relay on a sole navigation aid (including TECTIS system),
for a safe navigation of the vessel.
The responsible navigators, gather navigational information from multiple sources to cross-check
all information for any errors or discrepancies, when the vessel's position, course, speed, and
planned route shall be decided.
